came by the 14th Annual Global Marijuana March office today and delivered copies of his books. People are invited to wear their hoodies in support of the end of lynching in all its evil forms.

Dr. Graham will be speaking at the rally on the need to end lynching in all its forms from racism to the drug war. His approach is solution based, pulling readers to the most logical conclusion, it’s repair time. When you come to the march check out Dr. Arthur Graham!

The Late Sister Somayah Kambui, founder of the Los Angeles Global Marijuana March, with a group of local activists, produced the first LA march in 1999.

She was the Executive Producer of that and all the subsequent marches until her death in 2008, which happened after she lived her life expectancy of double plus 8 years with sickle cell. Her work in the fields of both hemp and sickle cell are legendary.

Sister Somayah remains an inspiration to many long term hemp activist who understand the power of just getting things done, no matter the obstacles.

• Remove restrictions from medical marijuana clubs so they may be businesses like any other legal business, supplying customer needs and paying taxes.

• Promote the use of hemp’s 50,000 products, that with only 10 companies per product is 500,000 new or expanded businesses. When each of those businesses have 10 employees each, that’s 5 million jobs. Of course the product medical marijuana has more than 10 companies with 10 employees.
